Verdict

Compton Spirit was second over course and distance earlier this month and appears to have the plum draw. Bilash made a winning reappearance over track and trip in May and is only 2lb higher while Hamis Al Bin won at Brighton last month. The latter's stablemate, Volcanic Dust, also has a chance while Kyllachy Storm is back on his favourite course and it would be no surprise if he popped up here again before the end of the season. THE NAME IS FRANK may offer more value today, however, as this is probably his best trip and he's well drawn as well as having a promising 7lb claimer on board.

Hamis Al Bin (IRE) 12-1 (9-9) Mid-division on inside, headway going well when not much roon and switched right over 1f out, strong run to lead inside final furlong, won going away, won at Brighton 6f hcp 0-60 (6) gf in Jun beating Ridgeway Sapphire (8-13) by 1 3/4l, 12 ran.

Athwaab 25-1 (9-12) Held up off the pace in mid-division, ridden and no progress when edged left from inside final 2f, 9th of 12, 15l behind Hamis Al Bin (9-9) at Brighton 6f hcp 0-60 (6) gf in Jun.
